Loose lips sink ships. But only if the government owning the ships has rejected God. So let me propose a counter sound-bite: “Truth is no threat to the honest.”
Secrecy assumes there is no God. The Lord promised Israel if they relied on Him, He would take care of all the details and no enemy would stand before them. Just to show how much that reliance mattered, He once ran a demonstration which remains to this day utterly unforgettable. When a collection of allied forces approached, God informed Israel they should send out the choir as their advance line of attack. As the formation crested the hill, their enemies lay scattered and dying in the valley below.
That was no fluke. When you embrace the Laws of God, He supports your national safety and security. So much does He do so, He can use your army band marching with instruments to defeat a massive allied attack. You can broadcast to your enemy the exact details of your plans to defend, and it won’t matter. They will fail because God is on your side.
We have proclaimed in times past about God and right on our side, but we were lying. Justice is defined by the Laws of Noah, not by some materialist Greek philosophical base, filtered through Latin anti-human organizational structure, combined with pagan Teutonic morals, and all Sanforized and homogenized by Enlightenment atheism. God is not impressed by such things.
He is deeply impressed when a nation humbles itself before His throne, and enters the Covenant of Noah with Him. He’s pretty impressed when individual humans do so, too. Total honesty is an integral part of that.
Truth is no threat to honest people, because Truth is another name for God, and honesty is what He demands. Genuine honesty is His policy for all humans. Yes, there are things none of us should ever see, because they build an appetite for sin. That’s not secrecy, but covering sin. We also know we expose things to children slowly, in steps, so they can assimilate truth as they grow in understanding. The nation of adult Americans are children only if our national leaders worked hard to make them that way, also contrary to God’s commands.
Those who work to uncover secrets are doing God’s work.
